After high school, Rudd attended and played college basketball Wake Forest University, with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, from 1981 to 1985.[citation needed]

Professional career

In his pro career, Rudd played in the

ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, from 1993 to 1999.[1]

While playing for the Jazz, Rudd mostly served as a backup to future Hall of Famer John Stockton. However, Rudd had a chance to shine in the 1992 Western Conference Finals against the Blazers. In Game 5 of that series, which was tied at 2 games apiece, Stockton suffered an eye injury and thus was unable to continue playing. Rudd stepped in as point guard for the Jazz, and with his team trailing 107-104 late in the fourth quarter, swished a 23-foot 3-pointer to silence the Portland crowd and send the game into overtime.[2]
